OCONUS Assignment — OHA, Not BAH
Members assigned to Yokota Air Base receive Overseas Housing Allowance (OHA) instead of BAH. OHA is calculated differently — it is based on your actual rental cost (up to a local ceiling), plus a utility/recurring maintenance allowance (MIHA). BAH rates do not apply.
Contact your gaining unit's housing office for current OHA ceilings and the DTMO OHA calculator at travel.dod.mil.
OCONUS members receive OHA, which is calculated differently than BAH. The Tokyo metro is one of the most expensive markets in the world — verify your OHA entitlement through your gaining unit's housing office.
Key Insights for Yokota Air Base
BAH is designed to cover median rental costs — not average or premium rents. Members living in above-median housing pay the difference out of pocket; those in below-median housing keep the surplus.
